Wings of Fire Seven Curses

Into the Light

"D-Did y- asgrwna!" Melody said, her voice turning into what they heard. Her wings started turning feathery, her front leg became shorter as her back ones became stronger. When her wings finished feathering, her wings turned a feathery lavender blue. When they got toward the top of the abyss Panzer jumped out and grabbed the featherwing known as Custard.

"Hans, how dare you defy me! I am your commander!" Panzer grabbed the Featherwing and strangled it. The other Featherwings stared in horror as their friend was just murdered.

"Panzer!" yelled Melody, finally getting her real voice back. "That was not Hans!" Panzer looked into the lifeless eyes of the Featherwing. He landed on the cold gray rocks trying to comprehend what he just did. What from the shores were the only thing they could hear.

"I-I'm so sorry," he told the Featherwings. "I thought it-" a few seconds later another Featherwing known as Hope interrupted.

"This is why you can't leave the bonds of the abyss!" The dragons looked at Panzer, wondering what Hope was talking about. He looked guilty.

"Panzer, why don't you tell us the story?" Fierir asked. Panzer took a deep breath and told them everything.

"It's a soldat's mission to die a meaningful death! I'm going to burn alive! It's been my mission ever since I was considered more of just a Nightwing citizen, I should have done this years ago!". Panzer dropped the torch and turned towards the raging flames.

"No! You don't have to die!" Teco hissed, his brown scales ready to jump in between the fire and Panzer. But Panzer seemed so out of it, he didn't understand a word she said. Panzer then went dashing into the flames,

"A soldat's mission was always to die! It never changes! As Königin said, I must be loyal to my tribe with my life, I will give the Nightwings my life! I want to speak to my Königin again, in the burning flams of the underworld! I'm going to follow in her ways!" Panzer spoke before finally jumping into the flames, the final sound heard from him was a loud, blood-curdling roar of regret and soon just the sound of fire crackling. A few seconds later, Panzer jumped out of the flames with a mysterious, unfamiliar dragon behind him.

"Panzer is cursed," the dragon spoke, "He will not die until he makes it all right.".

"But, why is he cursed?" Teco asked, glad that Panzer was at least alive.

"For the extention of all Featherwings.". Panzer's comrades later left him. dead, leaving, or living with the Featherwings. Alone Panzer lived, he lived through countless wars, multiple waves of depression, and killing multiple Featherwings.

"Wow," Rocket said with a deep breath, "then why was Hans your friend?"

"No!" Panzer shouted, "us soldats don't have friends!" Panzer stood there, a slow tear of regret fell down his snout.
